    I think he (realtime) was referring to the dog eating the hell out of the cops car... which I did find hilarious...

    The accident is very sad and I wonder if the driver was having medical issues.

    Bad section through there.Medians maybe 80' wide,lots of little hills, twists, and a couple skinny bridges.

    Wrecks on that section(MM 59- MM71) every other week it seems.This time they met head on.

    Before they put up the cables there was nothing.How can you now blame the cables?I have seen the cables stop trucks nothing is 100% the problem is people staying on their side pof the road.

    Went through there today trying to get home. From what the tracks looked like the driver never tried to correct his path. His tracks just kept on going straight for the other lane. Why do they have concrete barriers in place on certain sections of that road and cable barriers on other parts? Then on some other parts nothing at all. It is truely a sad event, I pray that I am never involed in such an event.

    This portion of 65 is straight maybe a hill or two. Mile marker 61 is where a driver in front of me wrecked back I believe Feburary. Ive said this more than once on here Ky is about to come down very hard on drivers in that state. About like Alabama did a couple of years ago and still are if you drive a Flatbed or tanker. So very sad.
